I have been on tirz for 4.5 months now. I’m losing and doing well with minimal side effects. They come and go which is weird. I’m down about 17 pounds now and taking 11mg.

My daughter has had amazing results with reta and with all the research I’ve done having that glucagon effect would be nice. I don’t necessarily want to quit the tirz but would love a little glucagon bump.

I’m post menopause and the weight loss is definitely slow as a result. Curious what you think?

In reading the studies, they said there is a 5 day half life of the medication in the body. Getting people to inject 5 days instead of 7 seemed daunting or potentially create a non-compliance so they recommended once a week injections.

I’ve read about split dosing but more curious about injecting every 5 days for more consistency. I am losing about a pound a week average which is steady but I do find myself eating/desiring more food come day 6 or 7. So I am exploring this option.

I would love to hear your experience of injecting every 5 days! Does it keep things on a more even keel? Was weight loss too rapid and you needed to go back to 7?
